The children in all classes seem to be really enjoying their new topics and we are grateful for any resources that children have brought into school linked to their class topic.

Weather

Well done to all the children for their sensible behaviour on the playgrounds, when it was very frosty on Wednesday morning.  I have reminded the children in assembly this morning about not running when there is snow or ice and the need to avoid looking for ice to skid on!

Football Club

Now that the nights are a bit lighter, we are able to restart football club from next week.  Football Club for Reception/Years 1 and 2 will restart on Tuesday 20th and will run until 4:15 pm. Children can then go into Film Club if they wish until 5:30 pm and will still need to pay for Film Club as last year.  Football Club for Years 3 – 6 will restart on Wednesday 21st and will finish at 4:30.  The School Office will put this on the calendar by the start of next week so don’t worry if it doesn’t show on the calendar straightaway.

Year 6 Booster

Booster Club for Year 6 will restart on Thursday 22nd and will run from 3:15 until 4:30 every Thursday up until SATs week.  It would be great to see all Year 6s there!

Letters home this week:

Years 3 and 4 Stottesdon meeting

Year 6 Dodge-ball tournament (children involved)

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Mrs Johnson

It was lovely to see everyone back at school this week and hopefully you all had a good Christmas and New Year!

Clubs

Please keep an eye on the website for up-to-date information on clubs. Football Club will restart once the nights get a bit lighter which will hopefully be in the next couple of weeks.

Dogs 

Please could we remind parents and family members that dogs should not be brought on to the playground at any time. Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this.

Calendar

We still have some calendars available, if you didn’t manage to buy one before Christmas.  Please could any outstanding monies for calendars taken/reserved before Christmas be paid by the end of next week. Thank you.

Letters home this week:

Change for Life leaflet – all children

Have a nice weekend.
